The acceleration due to gravity is less at the top of mt. everest because its so far from the center of the earth .
Given:
Water, 2 kilograms
T1 = 20 degrees Celsius, T2 = 100
degrees Celsius.
Required:
Heat produced
Solution:
Q (heat) = nRT = nR(T2 = T1)
Q (heat) = 2 kilograms (4.184 kiloJoules
per kilogram Celsius) (100 degrees Celsius – 20 degrees Celsius)
<u>Q (heat) = 669.42 Joules
</u>This is the amount of heat
produced in boiling 2 kg of water.
